Background
Cancer is one of the major causes of death in humans today, severely affecting human health. In recent years, there has been a deep search from the pathogenesis of cancer to diagnostic and therapeutic means in order to increase the survival rate of tumor patients. Many studies have found that the chemotaxis CXCL12/CXCR4 plays an important role in the tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis. It is reported in the literature that cells express CXCR4 in at least 23 different types of tumor tissue, and thus this chemokine receptor CXCR4 can be used as an entry point for tumor studies. According to the existing research results in many laboratories, chemokine receptor antagonists can inhibit macrophage infiltration, induce tumor growth arrest or apoptosis, prevent metastatic spread, and block the interaction between CXCL12/CXCR4 through a targeting agent to realize tumor treatment. Among the many classes of targeting agents, polypeptides are of interest because of their small size, availability via large scale synthetic procedures, and low immunogenicity. The subject group designs an E5 polypeptide, and experiments prove that the E5 polypeptide has high affinity with a chemokine receptor CXCR4 on the cellular level of leukemia, breast cancer and the like, can be specifically combined with the CXCR4 and has the function of inhibiting the migration capability of CXCR4 high-expression tumor cells, and is a polypeptide targeting agent which can be widely applied to tumor detection and treatment. Compared with the traditional material, the nano material has unique superiority in the aspects of drug transportation, diagnosis and biological imaging, and brings new thought for anti-tumor research. The nano material can improve the curative effect of the chemotherapeutic drugs, reduce the toxicity of the systemic biological drugs, realize the targeted delivery of the drugs, improve the bioavailability of the drugs and the like.

Compared with the traditional fluorescent probe, the quantum dot has wide absorption spectrum, narrow emission spectrum and large Stokes shift in the aspect of biological imaging, and can image deep tissues in a near infrared region; but the use of quantum dots is limited in biocompatibility and cytotoxicity. The surface of the quantum dot is modified by the polypeptide targeting agent E5, and the formed novel E5 polypeptide-quantum dot compound system combines the advantages and functions of the polypeptide targeting agent and the quantum dot, and realizes the targeting function of the quantum dot while improving the biocompatibility of the quantum dot. Provides a feasible treatment method for tumor detection and tumor metastasis inhibition.

Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested for cytotoxicity assays. Cells were counted by digestion, 5X 103 cells were cultured in 96-well plates (Corning) each using DMEM medium (containing one tenth of fetal calf serum and one hundredth of a double antibody), the 96-well plates were pre-incubated in incubator at 37℃under 5% CO2 for 24h, and the 96-well plates were exchanged with polypeptide-quantum dot solutions of different concentrations prepared with the medium every day. The 96-well plate was placed in an incubator for culturing for 24 hours, then the medium was discarded, 100. Mu.L opti-MEM and 20. Mu.L MTS solution were added to each well, incubation was continued in the incubator for 2 hours, and absorbance (OD) values at 490nm were measured with a continuous spectrum multifunctional microplate reader (SpectraMax i3, molecular Devices, USA), and cell viability was calculated.
Cell viability = OD490nm (polypeptide-quantum dot)/OD 490nm (blank control)
Cell viability under polypeptide-quantum dot incubation conditions is shown in figure 5. As can be seen from the cell viability of fig. 5, the targeting polypeptide-quantum dots were not cytotoxic to both CXCR4 positive and CXCR4 negative cell lines, and were well biocompatible.
Although the present invention has been described to a certain extent, it is apparent that appropriate changes may be made in the individual conditions without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the described embodiments, but is to be given the full breadth of the claims, including equivalents of each of the elements described.
